Zaino Discount
Hi Worm:
Thanks for the work you have done regarding our Zaino group purchase! It is a great product.
I have a comment on the discount provided by Sal. I am a repeat Zaino customer living in NJ. To get the discount Sal will only ship out of the state of NJ (no real problem for me as I have friends in PA nearby). This is done to respect his distributors. Understood.
However, with the group purchase at over 70 people from this forum surely we must be able to do a bit better than a free z7 with the order. My totals always seem to be $100+. In fact my last order was for $149.45. This makes our "discount" about 5.3% off retail. I know that this is better than nothing, but if Sal makes Joisey boys buy through distributors there must be a commission paid to these distributors, and this has to be more than 5%. Ergo, if all of the acuramdx.org sales are out-of-state, as they must be, and they all bypass the distributors, I would think we could do (significantly) better on the discount.
Also, with the free z7 offer there is no incentive for us to buy more product. No matter how much we buy, it is still the same "1 free z7". If there were greater "discounts" at higher purchase levels, I think Sal would get more sales...
As an alternative, could the forum become a distributor taking a small commission on sales to support the site? In this scenario, everyone wins. We get better discounts, and the site realizes revenue.
Just some thoughts...
